In everything you have good owners and bad owners. Good racers and bad racers. Condem the bad ones.

These dogs were bred to pull sleds. They love to run and pull. Way back in the day before vehicles, it was the only way people could get around. Now that more modern modes of transportation have appeared, the dogs merely race. Go to any Siberian Husky site and you'll see the same thing over and over. These dogs LOVE to run.

A good racer needs his team of dogs to win. Why would someone in their right mind hurt or kill them?

It just doesn't make sense to me.
